The Thames Sailing Club is a well established organisation dating back to the mid 1940s becoming incorporated in 1953.

The club caters for a comprehensive range of interests which include a purpose built clubhouse with launching facilities for small craft and centreboard sailboats on the Thames coast road at Tararu.

The clubhouse has numerous facilities which include a large lounge, a bar, BBQ and catering facilities, an observation deck, separate race control tower, toilets, showers and changing rooms as well as storage for small craft and it's rescue boats. Our club is available for hire for social functions such as birthdays, weddings and parties as well as sailing regattas.

The club also has learn to sail and youth training facilities at both the clubhouse and afloat under the guidance of a qualified instructor.

The club has a Keeler Division with well organised events, the majority of these craft are kept further along the peninsula at Coromandel.
